Someone told me, "When I met Tony at Epcot in January, he said his original idea for Tiana’s would’ve been about saving Mama Odie from the ‘other side’, mentioning that the dip-drop into the former Laughin’ Place would’ve been the more spooky side of the ride."
WE WERE ROBBED 😭

Disney Legend Tony Baxter had some hot takes at the Walt Disney Family Museum yesterday: *He hates using the word "Adventure" in experience names *He does not like Buzz Lightyear attraction, but is hopeful that the recent refurbishment addresses what he views as its faults (He is a big fan of Toy Story Mania) *The most recent WOW moment he had at a theme park was entering the Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe *Splash Mountain is the attraction he wishes they would bring back the most

And this is coming from someone who has loved the attraction since childhood, but I can't but feel that its "popularity" nowadays has caused an oversaturation that has resulted in questionable choices. An oversized shop in DL, a poorly placed HBG, a pointless flash photo op, etc.
English
I know what I'm about to say will be very unpopular, but MK does not need a Mansion Parlor. I doubt that's what's going here anyway. It will likely be restrooms or a facility related to the expansion, but Haunted Mansion can't be oversaturated. The ride and gift shop are enough.
English
When you make too much of something, it loses its charm and becomes more corporate shluck. It already happened to Star Wars. I love it dearly, but I can't be excited for the Disney+ stuff anymore. Keep the parlor on the ship, and don't put a 3rd mansion building in Liberty Square
English
@KateFisher96 Oh I know, but it would have been better than the version of Tiana's that we got.
English
@Danshull8 Because we didn't get Tony's version of Tiana's 😭
English
@Themountainkin1 And it's obvious they didn't accept any of his ideas. So much for him coming back as a "creative advisor."
English
@JPAdventurer I wish we got that instead😭. It’s surprising that he was even allowed to share ideas to WDI for this project
English
@SealyGaming They've described it as corny, terrible, and unfunny.
English
@JPAdventurer I’m actually curious, what have they said about the dialogue in the auction scene
English
My favorite thing about retired Imagineers is how they are free to speak their minds. I've heard many criticize the following:
• the new auction scene's dialogue
• WDW's Hatbox Ghost (the most criticisms)
• the Sorcerer Hat
• Stitch's Great Escape
• Under New Management

@ShawnNOrlando He may not have named them, but if he did, it's because the word "Adventure" wasn't so overused back then. Nowadays, it's the go-to word whenever they can't think of a more creative name.
English
Ill be curious to see a recording of this because its weird to say "I hate the word 'adventure" when he named two rides consecutively with the word 'adventure' in them

@HarrisonHighto2 Agreed. It's more realistic and actually looks like something out of Buzz's world. The original was a decal.
English
Wait, people liked that old one?
This new one is a huge improvement.
Park Mind@AParkMind
2 different eras of Disney Parks😭
English
@ogorangebird Ngl the word is ridiculously overused. It's the go-to word whenever they can't think of a more creative name.
English
Tony Baxter really just say he hates the word “Adventure”?

What you're watching is a scene that required Disney to invent an entirely new category of animation software.
Deep Canvas was built specifically for Tarzan. Artists painted individual brushstrokes into 3D space, and the software tracked the exact position of every stroke. When the virtual camera moved through the jungle, the system repainted the scene in real time from the new angle. Hand-painted art you could fly through like a Steadicam shot.
The Deep Canvas sequences in Tarzan total about 10 minutes of an 88-minute film. Those 10 minutes required the team to build custom software from scratch, send animators on a two-week safari to Kenya and Uganda to study mountain gorillas in the wild, and render the most expensive traditionally animated film ever made at $130 million.
The film grossed $448 million. Deep Canvas won a Technical Achievement Oscar.
Disney used it twice more. Atlantis got a few sequences. Treasure Planet used Deep Canvas for 75% of its environments and pushed the budget even higher. It flopped. Disney took a $74 million write-down and blamed the medium.
By 2013, Bob Iger announced there were zero hand-drawn features in development. The studio laid off most of its 2D animation staff. That same year, Frozen became Disney's first animated film to gross $1 billion. The math was settled.
The technology that made this scene possible existed for exactly three feature films before the studio that invented it decided it was too expensive to justify. Deep Canvas won an Academy Award and then quietly disappeared.

At what point did Disney think it was a good idea to stop making animation this incredible?

English
@ShawnNOrlando Yup. They have AAs from pretty much every attraction they've replaced. They keep them for archival and training purposes.
English
Disney doesnt throw out animatronics. They refurbish the parts and reuse them.
KingdaKha@Kingdakha92
Just because Disney showed a few archived Audio Animatronics from Splash in a video Twitter ppl think Josh is going to bring back Splash Mountain 😂 you guys gotta give it up already.
